Wine & Food Celebration Canceled for 2025
After thoughtful consideration, we have made the difficult decision to cancel the 2025 Wine & Food Celebration.
Over the past few years, our team has worked hard to bring this beloved event to life but organizing it has become increasingly challenging—particularly in securing the level of vendor participation needed to create the vibrant and engaging experience our guests have come to expect. We recognize that many in the food and beverage industry are still navigating significant pressures, including staffing shortages and rising costs. These realities have impacted many, and we want to express our deep respect and appreciation for the incredible work our restaurant and beverage partners continue to do in our community.
While we’re disappointed not to move forward this year, we remain grateful for the generosity, enthusiasm, and support our vendors have shown over the years. The Wine & Food Celebration has always been a reflection of the passion and creativity of our local culinary scene, and we hope to find new ways to celebrate that spirit in the future.
To stay up to date on future events and opportunities, we invite you to follow us on social media. We’ll continue sharing updates, behind-the-scenes stories, and ways to stay connected with our community.
